Instruction

  • Sprinkle salt & pepper onto shrimp and set aside.
  • Place large nonstick pan over medium heat and saute onions and garlic in olive oil and butter. Add in shrimp and cook until just pink. Remove from pan.
  • Add in red pepper flakes, crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano and cream an simmer lightly for 15 minutes. If you notice the sauce getting a little too thick, feel free to add in a little chicken stock or pasta cooking liquid. Add in salt and pepper, if needed and slide in cooked shrimp.

  • *add in as much or as little red pepper flakes as you'd like. I liked mine pretty spicy!
